reassign 408529 developers-reference
Hi,
Don't we already have a policy directive to not overwrite user
changes? And does not the dev ref say packages should not ask any
more questions than needed?
Creating a new file using debconf, and using ucf to ask the
user whether or not to use that, is poor development practice, and
should be so mentioned in the dev ref about proper handling of
configuration files. One should not clutter up ucf documentation
with a treatise on proper practice.
